Yep, just been sitting on his hands.
And so a bunch of stuff that happened outside the senate 15 years ago....and a bunch of seats on Senate committees...
Is going to be the thing people actually vote on?
THAT IS NOT A RECORD. Those are just a list of titles that virtually every senator can stick on a card.
Now put that up against Hillary who has been involved with government for 40 years. First lady of Arkansas, and of the U.S.. Senator from New York, Sec. of State, 2nd run for the presidency. Involved in likely many Senate committees too. Had all types of foundation and charity work. Met with numerous world leaders over 20 years.
Now you are ready to type “But, but she sucked at all of that”, right?
Well you go to John Q. Public and put up easy to sell positions shes had for 40 years to some guy you’ve never heard of touting a bunch of gibberish senate committee seats, authoring 80+ SCOTUS briefs (as if anyone cares), working at a university, Solicitor General of Texas (again, so?)....not to mention working for George W. Bush (good luck with that), and you seriously think that is a RECORD that anyone other than his hardest fans and a few talk radio hosts give 2 s*its about?
The average voter isnt hiring him to teach law at the local community college, so you guys are going to have to find something relatable to everyday people.
This is like the 3-4th post of this stuff and still no one can list a thing that you can package to voters and not put them to sleep.
